  • ¼ cup55 gWatercold
  • 2 tbsp30 gLemon juice
  • 2½ tbsp grated15 gFresh gingerpeeled and finely grated
  • 1¾ tsp10 gMiso paste
  • 1¼ tsp8 gMaple syrup

Steps

  1. Prepare first: peel and finely grate the ginger and the garlic. Use sesame seeds that are already toasted, or buy them toasted.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the miso paste with the lemon juice until smooth so no lumps remain.
  3. Add the ginger, garlic and maple syrup to the miso paste mixture and whisk to combine.
  4. Whisk in the tahini; it will seize and thicken at first.
  5. Pour in the water, one-third at a time, whisking after each addition, until the dressing is smooth, creamy and thick enough to drizzle.
  6. Stir in half of the sesame seeds and the red pepper flakes.
  7. Spoon the dressing over warm roasted vegetables and scatter the remaining half of the sesame seeds on top. Keep any leftover dressing covered in the fridge, and thin it with a splash of water if it firms up.
